England Under-20 boss Ben Futcher praised the performance of goalkeeper Tommy Setford following the 1-0 defeat by Switzerland at St George's Park. Setford has been a regular member of England's age group squads and made his senior debut for Arsenal against Preston in the EFL Cup last season. The 19-year-old was in England's Under-19 European Championship squad last summer but has suffered a number of niggling injuries in recent months, the latest forcing him out of a Premier League 2 game against Brighton in August.

Setford was outstanding against Switzerland, making a string of excellent saves despite finishing on the losing side.
"He had a fantastic game," said Futcher. "When he had to make saves he did and his distribution is good.
"It is good to get him back into an England shirt and playing. He is a pleasure to work with.
"He will be being looked after by some excellent people at Arsenal. Hopefully he can go back to his club and keep developing."
